/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

LD s2e6 "The Spy Humongous" (PADD shot) and LD s5e10 "The New Next Generation"

So, a continuation in the spirit of Lower Decks as it appeared in the Strange New Worlds crossover (live action) may occur in the future. Paramount, don't screw this up!

Edit: early premise concerning the exploits of guests at one of the resort-type planets, with LD alum Tawny Newsome producing/writing

Unfortunately, it's not a Lower Decks continuation - I'm pretty sure that's the Tawny Newsome comedy about “Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadrant."

However, the involvement of Tawny Newsome makes me hopeful it will be good at least. I guess it also opens us to LD cameos at the bare minimum kind of like how they found a way to shoehorn Riker into pretty much every Trek show (I guess even technically DSC and SNW, if you count directing and/or Boimler doing the chair thing).

Admittedly, it would also be fun if they had a neo-Miranda class (perhaps we could call it Terrell class) Cerritos, but despite a similar role, it's not called the Cerritos A; it has an entirely new registry number because they somehow managed to forget about the original Cerritos.

Hmm. Not a great premise, but if Tawny's got some creative control, I'll take what I can get.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree with you. Thinking on it, I wonder if that's only a season 1 premise and they'll eventually get beyond that.

Now what would make it really interesting (but they probably won't do) is if this comedy had a backdrop of a weakened postwar Dominion a.k.a this resort planet is in the Gamma Quadrant. It would be very interesting to use it to explore the new power structures that develop in the quadrant since the weakened power of the Founders. You could also showcase how Alpha quadrant polities interact with Dominion worlds (kind of like what we saw with the Karemma in LD "Hear All, Trust Nothing") - we have an episode with Federation diplomats at the resort negotiating a trade deal, for instance (this could even be our excuse to bring in an LD character or two).

I like it, not to mention the opportunities for cheeky puns/references. A local drink called a Ketracel-white Russian, for instance.

Since it's already a hot sauce, I think that means you're in for some spicy milk

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

That's Ketracel-white hot. I'm sure there's a whole line of various related products.
